Gary Jules version is way better than Tears for Fears. Basically, he bring out the emotion of the song while Tears for Fears version is too fast and i cant feel anything.
BUT! Adam Lambert's version ftw!![]()

Gary Jules
Tears for Feras
Note that Tears for Fears' is the ONLY true vision of the song. Jules' is just an interpretation.
That's when Ron vanished, came back speaking Spanish
Lavish habits, two rings, twenty carats
By "majority", you mean a couple of posts on an internet forum which has an audience of mostly 15 year-olds? That makes perfect sense in the grand scheme of things, doesn't it? Riveting.
Compare one of the biggest bands and hits of the '80s to a one hit wonder? Hmm. It isn't rocket science.
Doesn't matter if he was a one hit wonder. His interpretation was pretty good and wasn't necessarily aimed at the same demographic. Anyway the Tears for Fears guys did well on songwriting royalties from it and it renewed interest in the band. All subjective - nobody's right and nobody's wrong but people should be allowed to express their opinion. End of.
